Like a movie about water pollution.
Did it happen at a law firm? There was also the Environmental Protection Agency. There was a fat man who wanted to sue the company that polluted the stream, but no lawyer was willing to take his case. He left some videotapes and left reluctantly.
The lawyer that the fat man came to find is Rob. Rob's wife is like a devout believer. He prays before dinner, and it is the same movie routine. The hero has an exceptionally kind wife. It turns out that the fat man is Wilbur, who knows Rob. My grandmother, it seems that although Rob didn't follow his case, he still had some concerns in his heart and went to the scene to investigate, because after all, he was someone the grandmother knew.
The fat man kept a lot of evidence of the poisoning of his livestock due to the pollution of the stream water. 190 cows died, and he kept some of their poisoned organs, all due to the sewage from the DuPont factory and the infiltration of the factory waste they buried. into the stream.
DuPont is also one of the big companies that are respected by the public. It is their slogan to change lives through chemistry. It seems that they have made great contributions to everyone. Rob recruited Phil, the leader of DuPont. He wanted to He found out what was going on through Phil and got the evaluation report. He showed the evaluation report to Wilbur. The evaluation report said that the way of raising the livestock was wrong, not the fault of their chemical company. And he saw it with his own eyes, the cow started to go crazy, and it looked like it was obviously a symptom of poisoning. He went back and started looking at the tapes Wilbur handed him.
Rob persuaded his boss to take over the case and write a movie review while watching the movie.
Rob began to look up various materials, he first wanted to investigate what caused the death of the cow,
Rob attended an annual chemical industry meeting, where he wanted to find DuPont leader Phil, and asked him why DuPont's landfill next to the livestock plant was not under the supervision of the EPA. Phil got angry all of a sudden, the company The boss is so easy to get angry, what Rob said touched his sore spot?
DuPont provided Rob with boxes of materials, countless boxes of materials, and I don't think there are any useful ones. PFOA is a key word, and PFOS is associated with it. He consulted chemists and determined that it was an inedible poison.
A year has passed, and there seems to be no progress. The waste landfill continues to seep into the water. In addition to affecting livestock, will it also affect people?
It turns out to be true, PFOA, CA, buried 3, 40 years ago near the Wilbur Livestock Works, is a toxic substance that can cause cancer, and this substance is still used to make non-stick pans, and other daily necessities. And people who are often exposed to this substance, people from DuPont have been suffering from it all the time, they will develop cancer and cause deformed newborns.
Rob moved into action and referred the issue to the organization, which should have been referred to higher-ups in the law firm.
Another year passed, and Rob continued to investigate and found that more people at DuPont were sick because of the toxin. Rob found that people were drinking water that also contained this toxin, beyond the safe level.
To solve this problem, they are discussing, and the top leaders in the discussion meeting are very firm, like they want to completely overthrow DuPont. It is impossible to tell whether it is true or false, but encouraging words are better than no words. .
Another year, my gosh, what I'm thinking is that people are still drinking poisonous water, and this year has passed, which year will it be fixed.
From the discussion at the meeting to the proceedings, Rob met Wilbur, the first fat man who came to him outside the courtroom, and Wilbur was terminally ill at this time.
Another year, still discussing this issue, the discussion about PFOA, the discussion about non-stick pans, oh, I wonder if there will be non-stick pans we use now, and suddenly I understand this is One of the problems brought about by the development of science and technology is that the invention of chemical pesticides prevents insects from eating crops, but also contaminates our food. The problem of DuPont in the movie may be more serious.
The complaint had a certain result, DuPont was fined a sum of money, and it was also responsible for filtering people's citing water, and if it could be proved that the public's blood contained toxins, if it could be proved that the toxic substances could cause deadly diseases, DuPont You are responsible for all medical monitoring and treatment.
Another year, I feel that the director wants to use year after year to wake up the audience. The solution to this problem and the legal proceedings are really a long and long process.
Is the legal agency represented by Rob to solve the problem, or to bring down DuPont? Can? I can't even watch movies. It's also the blood, they give people checks and encourage people to provide them with blood samples to test people's blood for disease-causing or lethal toxins. 69,000 people were tested,
Another four years have passed. Fat Wilbur has passed away, and some of the people who have been tested have died. I am also wondering, the blood samples have been submitted for so many years, and there is no result,
Another year, Rob has spent 13 years on this case.
Another year, Rob fell ill, similar to a stroke, the doctor said it was neurological, and the movie proved again that I saw their routine, and the tough and brave protagonist's wife was really kind and beautiful, although Rob wanted to This unprofitable case affected the family, and she was still defending him.
Another year, seven years later, Rob waited for the test results and found that six serious diseases were related to the toxin PFOA, and among the blood samples they provided, three or four thousand people had already suffered from the disease,
Another year, the lawsuit finally came to fruition, and DuPont paid more than $600 million to those who developed the disease, or to those who tested positive for excess PFOA. Rob finally won. In the movie, it is said that 99% of human beings in the world contain PFOA in their blood. Does that mean that in addition to DuPont, other companies are producing products containing PFOA. Rob has been fighting for this.
What does this movie show? Litigation for the public is difficult and long, and there are many obstacles. If you are afraid of trouble, it is better to give up. Those who are not afraid of trouble and persevere are worthy of our respect and praise.
Robs around the world, come on!
